So it seems to me that it goes something like this:
1) Assassin, Mesmer, and Necromancer
2) Healer and Protter
3) Elementalist, Permasin, and Necromancer
4) Paragon, Ranger, and Elementalist
5) And everyone's opinion.
So, if I look at all of this, I may have missed some data, it seems that being an Elementalist allows the most flexibility while still being useful. It also seems to me that the Warrior and Dervish professions are left out, except from personal opinions.
So Which Class Should I Play?

3. Healing - ER protting
4. Mallyx'ing - Ether Prism Restoration
5. Physical - Elemental attributes give you a Conjure + some defensive skills like Armor of Earth / Armor of Mist; the real problem is you can't trigger Barbs and MoP anymore
Energy Storage as a primary attribute is almost always useful, so Elementalists are similarly very versatile ... although they of course can't do most of what's written above better than every other class.
Rather off-topic though. I'm saying they're versatile, not that they can do everything better than everyone else.

If youre new to guild wars i would make a ranger...they come with decent armor (70al+elemental defense) and good defense skills (lots of blocking and running). They are very fun to play and you can vary your style alot. They do put out high damage, but they work best in a team. Good for spreading conditions and weakening enemies. They are not the best for farming, but there are plenty of ways to make very good money with them....my favorite class is warrior, but thats probably just because it was my first character.
